Minor Description

Are you looking for a career in business but want more technical skills to make yourself competitive for jobs? Many Fortune 500 companies rely on SAP - an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software - which helps manage and streamline business processes. These systems run behind global business these days, integrating everything from human resources to sales, production to accounting. This minor combines business process management and information technology to prepare students for a thriving technical or business career. Few universities offer programs in this area and companies are seeking competitive students with these skills.

Note: Students must take at least 16 units that are unique to the minor (i.e. not required to fulfill the student's major, another minor, or general education requirements). Students may take an interdepartmental minor in which their major unit participates as long as at least four courses (16 units) required for the minor are not courses offered by the major department.

Why Students Take It

ERP skills are in high demand because very few Universities offer programs in this area. Consulting companies, corporations, global businesses are seeking students with these skills. By completing this minor students will set themselves apart from others.
